Car company in December’s relocated: eastern New Zealand (8-4)
I believe the answer is:
mercedes-benz
'car company' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'december's relocated eastern new zealand' is the wordplay.
'relocated' is an anagram indicator (letters get relocated).
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'new zealand' becomes 'nz' (abbreviation).
'decembers' with letters rearranged gives 'mercedesb'.
'mercedesb'+'e'+'nz'='MERCEDES-BENZ'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
